Let’s face it – preparing healthy meals throughout the week, especially if you’re cooking for a family, can feel daunting. Meal planning and prepping isn’t always the most exciting task to add to your to-do list, but it can make it easier to get dinner on the table.
First, make sure to look at all of the ingredients you have in your kitchen. From there, you can create recipes out of what you have or brainstorm what to get next at the store.
Rather than overdoing it with the groceries, find recipes based on common ingredients. Not only does it make planning that much easier, but it can help make food more affordable.
The following recipes and shopping list can help give you a starting point for an upcoming weekly plan. The serving sizes may adjust due to the amount of people you are feeding. (Don’t worry – there are a ton of healthy options on this very site!)
Outside of the ingredients below, you’ll want to grab some other healthy fruits and vegetables for your day-to-day schedule. These are quick and healthy options that can be cut up and eaten throughout the week.
Meal planning may feel like a challenging task, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right ingredients, you can make it a fun and healthy part of your week.
